Went to the grocery store today early to try and beat the freezing rain that's coming this afternoon.
Lady passed me in the dairy section and I thought I was going to faint. She must have put half a bottle of perfume on. And it didn't even smell nice.
I came home with a headache and sore sinuses thanks to perfume lady.

Wow, I have to say I couldn't agree with you more!!!!! I can't stand any kind of perfume at all. Or even mens aftershave. And the people who wear it seem to become immune to it and keep pouring it on ever thicker. When I worked at the hospital there was a rule against wearing any perfume at all, but it wasn't enforced. The woman who came in to replace me at 3:30 am would just about kill me. Even some of the lilies in my garden are overpowering to me. Glad to hear I am not the only one who can't stand it.

I understand how you feel about makeup. I only wear a bit of mascara because without it, I look funny because my eyebrows and eyelashes are very blonde, so it looks like from a distance I have no eyebrows. LOL
While I was at the store I saw another woman who had the makeup piled on. She almost looked like Mimi from the Drew Carey show.

Obsession is the worst for me. I used to work in a mall and I knew when a jewelery saleswoman walked into the mall. I'd call her store phone to wish her a good morning as she opened her shop. I swore she must have bathed in the stuff. The door she entered by was a good 300 yards from my store, but I could smell her as she walked in.
Where I work now, there was a manager who wore the stuff. I could tell what part the the building she had been in and when by the lingering smell. It is a 5 story building with over 1,000 people there. Thank the stars she retired.

I couldn't agree more with the perfume issue. My wife even gets bad headaches from that, which is why i am glad she doesn't wear much (or much makeup for that matter).

Every pic of me, it's like, where the heck are your eyebrows?
